This resolution expresses support for the goals and ideas of "National Hydrocephalus Awareness Month" in September and "World Hydrocephalus Day" on September 20. It acknowledges hydrocephalus as a severe, life-threatening condition characterized by abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation, affecting approximately 1,000,000 people in the United States and having a global incidence rate of 85 per 100,000 individuals. The condition can affect anyone at any age, including 1 in 770 babies and an estimated 800,000 older Americans, many of whom are undiagnosed. The resolution emphasizes the significant challenges associated with hydrocephalus, such as the lack of a cure, reliance on costly and frequently failing brain surgeries, and barriers to care for young adults transitioning to adult healthcare. Annual hospital charges related to hydrocephalus medical costs exceed $2,000,000,000 nationally. Therefore, the resolution advocates for continued support for research aimed at preventing, detecting, and treating hydrocephalus.
